GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
FOREWORD
WARNING
1. Should any of the abnormalities described below occur, immediately unplug the lens cable from the
camera, and then contact Canon’s representative or the dealer from whom you purchased the lens.
• Smoke, abnormal smell, or abnormal noise.
• Entry of foreign objects (including metals and liquids) inside the products.
WARNING
1. Unplug the lens cable and remove the lens from the camera, before attempting to clean the lens.
Never use ammable substances such as benzene or thinner for cleaning, as this may present a seri-
ous re or electric shock hazard.
(NOTE)
1. Dust or ngerprints on the lens surface.
Gently blow or brush away dust or dirt on the lens surface using a lens blower or a soft lens brush. Re-
move any ngerprints or other stains with a clean cotton cloth moistened with commercially available
lens cleaning uid or lens cleaning paper.
Gently swirl the cloth or cleaning paper over the lens surface, starting at the center area of the lens,
and then circling gradually outward until whole lens surface has been covered.
Be careful not to rub dust across the lens, as the lens surface may be scratched.
2. Periodic inspection
A periodic inspection about once a year is recommended.
The inspection and maintenance interval depends on the operating conditions, the frequency of use,
and the environment. If required, overhaul the lens.
CAUTION
1. Always attach the lens cap (or hood cap) and the dust cap before storing the lens.
Storing the lens without these caps attached may present a re hazard. (Very bright light, such as sun-
light, may be focused by the lens and cause a re.)
(NOTE)
1. Moisture inside the lens
If the lens becomes damp because of use in fog, mist or drizzle, wipe off the moisture with a soft dry
cloth and seal the lens together with an efcient desiccant in a vinyl bag to remove moisture which has
entered into the interior.
